I was just struck by the use of such an out-of-the-way prop
in the plots of both CoL49 and AtD.

However, after the rundown you've given, I want one for myself.

Midget submarines normally work with mother ships, from which they are launched and recovered, and which provide living accommodation for the crew and other support staff. Both military and civilian midget submarines have been built and operated. Military types work with surface ships and submarines as mother ships. Civilian and non-combatant military types are generally called submersibles, and normally work with surface ships."
